I'm an 6'1" 185 progressing and moderately agressive skiier that has been on 170 Twin Tips (Fischer) for the last few years. I'm wondering if I should I make the jump all the way to the 186's. Am I gonna be upset in a few years if I stick to the 179's? I'll be skiing out west, mostly around Tahoe, and prefer off-piste whenever its good.

The 186s are going to feel real long your first couple of times on them. At your size, and taking into the fact that you are progressing and enjoy off-piste, they would work. But, if possible, you might want to go with the 179s now and step up to the 186s when you have a couple more days under you. Going too long too soon could hurt your skills and slow down your progression slightly.
